If you knew that there was a deadly virus at your local school, would you send your child there? If you knew there was fierce fighting happening at the school, would you pack a snack lunch for them and send them on their way? Sadly, many parents are still turning a blind eye to the real pandemic - the spiritual and moral crisis that’s taking our youth in record numbers is happening in the public schools. The battle is real—and our kids should never be on the front lines. My hunch is that you wou...

The news is grim right now—even frightening. Can you feel it? Every day, strangers and friends send me articles and videos that often predict the unthinkable… but is this the place God wants us to focus on in our hearts and minds? No. God’s grace will never be absent in the life of a Believer who knows the Word and lives by it. Our confidence in times of trial must rest on the knowledge that God is in control.

Got courage? If you are a true Christian, this is something God requires. Nothing should separate you from God—not political unrest, not a virus, not persecution. There is no difficulty, no trouble, no scenario that can separate you from the love of God if you belong to Him. God loves you and will always protect you. He will watch over you. Because of this, not only can we yield to Him and trust Him—we can and must be men and women of courage.
Our republic has suffered a terrible blow. From Pence to the end of peaceful protests, it is clear that the brief respite we got from four years of Trump is coming to an end. However. We should not be surprised by this. God’s people, more than any other people group on earth, have reason to hope.
Nancy Pelosi wants Congress to ban any language that affirms there are two genders. It’s just the latest example of a society in absolute rebellion against God. Next? Churches that embrace social justice. Today we’ll have an honest conversation about the culture and why I think there are churches that you need to leave—right now.
We live in a world that equates knowledge with wisdom—but they are not the same. If we’re going to make good decisions, we need more than worldly know-how; we need wisdom, which begins with fear of the Lord. Is it any wonder that our culture has fallen so low? We no longer fear the Lord. Special guest today… my nephew, River, makes a brief appearance. Enjoy!
It’s Mailbox Monday and today, I’ll be answering a question from a pastor in Washington state, and a mom who asks “How can we encourage parents who say they need two jobs in order to homeschool?”
If there’s one thing 2020 taught us, it’s that nothing is certain—except one thing. We all have a limited time to make a difference. There is a time to be born and a time to die. We all have a “window” of opportunity in which to leave a legacy and make a difference with our lives. Our legacy in death is a function of the choices we make in life. Are you making choices that will strengthen your legacy, or weaken it? Also today: I’ll be answering questions from listeners, including one from a mom ...
“Your situation is hopeless.” That’s what we heard when my nephew was involved in a devastating accident. “The election is over. Fixing it is hopeless.” That’s what the pundits are saying. Guess what, friends? These are exactly the kind of odds God loves to work with. With God, NOTHING is hopeless. Don’t give up as we ring in the new year. There is always hope with God! If God can raise Lazarus from the dead, He can answer any prayer. Listen in and be encouraged! PS: Be sure you stay up tonight ...
January’s almost here. There is a storm on the horizon. People are tired. Government is poised to send an apology note of $2,000 to families, plunging us farther in debt and doing nothing to fix the lockdowns. In the midst of it all, though, God is still at work. One of the main ways He works? Through families. Is it any wonder that the family is under attack? It’s because the family that walks in truth is a powerful force for good in this world. This year, focus on yours. Invest in your family....
Relationships can be tricky—but they’re worth investing in, even when we disagree. The Bible teaches that we should be sharpening each other “as iron sharpens iron.” In this season of the Rona and political unrest, many of us have struggled in our relationships. Here’s the thing: we can have peace in our relationships, even when we don’t agree. Before you walk away from a friendship, consider the cost. Pray. Seek the Lord for wisdom. Real friendship will stand the test of time. So when you find ...

Beth Moore recently tweeted her disdain for Christians who support President Trump, calling them “nationalists” and urging them to stop supporting the President. Christian “nationalism” is a term made up by leftists to further divide our nation. You can love your country and follow Christ with your entire being. There is a shaking happening in the church. Many leaders I once followed have revealed their true nature and lack of discernment in these perilous times. To not support Trump at this tim...

Is a Christian ever called to engage in civil disobedience? I’ll ask this question and more in the 2nd half of my interview with Bill Jack, founder of Worldview Academy.
The church in the US is grappling with something it wasn’t ready for: a tyrannical government. We have heard pastors and religious leaders use Romans 13 as an excuse for closing and even for indifference to the suffering of their fellow Americans, as jobs and livelihoods have been lost due to unconstitutional lockdowns and irrational mandates. So what’s a Christian to do? Tune in as Bill Jack and I discuss this very important topic. **Find links and more under PODCASTS at HeidiStJohn.com**...
In 2018, our family was going through a painful time. We were grieving the loss of a friendship while at the same time, struggling to keep what felt like fifteen balls in the air. One by one, the balls began to drop as night after night, I was awakened by thoughts of insecurity and stemming from the pain in my heart. I wanted the Lord to rescue me. Like David, I was weary. I needed God’s help to quiet my mind and spirit, so that I could rest and be restored. **Find links and more under PODCASTS ...
Why is the church in such a weakened state today? In part, because of sin. The world will tempt you to compromise with sin. It will offer you enough of Jesus to stay out of hell but not enough to walk in victory. Stay on the path! Do not compromise with evil. The risk isn’t worth any moment of reward. God has victory for you as you walk in His ways. **Find links and more under PODCASTS at HeidiStJohn.com**
